Boston, Mass., May 19, 1859.
Dear Wife And
Children, All, — I intend to be with yon again next week; but as I may
fail to bring it about, I now write to say to Watson and Oliver that I think it
quite certain that I shall very soon be off for the southwest, so that they may
(I think safely) calculate their business accordingly. I shall be glad to have
my summer clothing put in order, so far as it can be done comfortably; I have
had no shake now for five days, and am getting quite smart again, and my
hearing improves. You all may as well be still about my movements. God bless
you all!
Your affectionate
husband and father,
John Brown.
